#42 New project creation fails due to silk/domite dependencies failing to install

Running amber init to create a new project fails because bower can't find the silk and domite dependencies on Github.

Checking the URLs, it looks like the they don't exists in Github anymore, and so bower asks you to try to login, thinking maybe they are private repos.

I'm assuming that's not the case, and that the repos have been removed in favor of the ones hosted here.

Is there a workaround I can use until this is fixed? I've tried bower installing the packages directly by specifying their lolg.it Git URLs, but that doesn't work because silk depends on domite, and in trying to resolve that, bower still tries to pull from Github.

Same error here! I'm a newcomer, and just followed getting started guide. Error:

bower domite#^0.4.0 ECMDERR Failed to execute "git ls-remote --tags --heads https://github.com/herby/domite.git", exit code of #128 remote: Invalid username or password. fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://github.com/herby/domite.git/'

Strange indeed. I had the impression I moved (read: re-registered) all of them, but they are indeed missing from the list in https://github.com/bower/registry/issues/193.

Probably ask there to move them as well (I don't have account on github anymore, and the repo is deleted anyway).

Released 0.15.6 that workarounds this by including direct https git urls. Do npm -g install amber-cli to update, with this grunt init should work.

@codingkoi @tinchodias Close this if the fix helps for you.

Bower registry fixed, points to repo in lolg.it. Reverted the temporary fix in 0.15.6, released as 0.15.7.

Thanks @herby, that fixed it. I did have to do a bower cache clean to get it to work though, because it was still trying to pull from Github. Just putting this here in case someone else hits the same problem.
